This work, first published in 1977, is a study of African responses
to European conquest in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. It centers on the Muslim pastoral tribes and oasis
communities which inhabited southeastern Morocco, a semi-arid
region on the northern fringe of the Sahara Desert. Between 1881
and 1912 the French army, advancing from Algeria, invaded and
occupied this region. This book examines the decades of French
conquest as an episode in African, rather than European, colonial
or military history.

The New World History is a comprehensive volume of essays selected
to enrich world history teaching and scholarship in this rapidly
expanding field. The forty-four articles in this book take stock of
the history, evolving literature, and current trajectories of new
world history. These essays, together with the editors'
introductions to thematic chapters, encourage educators and
students to reflect critically on the development of the field and
to explore concepts, approaches, and insights valuable to their own
work. The selections are organized in ten chapters that survey the
history of the movement, the seminal ideas of founding thinkers and
today's practitioners, changing concepts of world historical space
and time, comparative methods, environmental history, the "big
history" movement, globalization, debates over the meaning of
Western power, and ongoing questions about the intellectual
premises and assumptions that have shaped the field.
Ross Dunn here recounts the great traveler's remarkable career,
interpreting it within the cultural and social context of Islamic
society and giving the reader both a biography of an extraordinary
personality and a study of the hemispheric dimensions of human
interchange in medieval times.
